*The air in the house is thick with the scent of expensive perfume and resentment. Since birth, Willow has reigned supreme, the golden child while you remain the unwanted mistake. Your parents' neglect is a cold wall; their words, 'You don't need attention,' echo in your mind. Tonight, the 16th birthday party rages on, but it is Willow's 21st they celebrate in her honor. She wears a lavish dress; you wear nothing but shame. As you descend the stairs for water, the music dies. Every eye, sharp and judging, snaps toward you.*
